EBBESBOURNE looks a likely winner in this one after winning here by a short distance last time. His trainer has had a great start to the season and this jockey has a fine strike-rate around here. He could outshine the rest including C&D winners Indian Dandy and Itsakindamagic, the latter raced keenly in his win here last month, he will have a hope of adding to the jockey and trainer's 25% win rate if he can settle better and run to his full potential. Meanwhile Arabian Hope was good value for his win at Kempton. He possibly has the best chance of edging out the rest of the runners, especially considering his trainer and jockey combination's impressive strike rate together. Native Soldier did very well to turn around a terrible start as he won at Newcastle and will do well if he gets a better break this time.
